Not so much waffle this time, forgot to post my poppy card - since I
left you have I started the ironing.... no, had a coffee though.Then I
must get off the computer and stop blogging.... Here's my card:

Can't believe it's been a week since I posted - good job you're used me. I had a nice day out at my crafty friend Sheila's where we had a nice catch up and she showed me her bits and bobs in her craft room - WOW she has got some amazing stash and she lent me her pan pastels and indigo blu starter kit to try before i buy one. How kind and how lucky am I. I introduced her to card making at one of our M.E group meetings and she is hooked - bless. Forgot to say how addictive it is - whoops!!! We had a BBQ at my Mum in laws on Saturday which was lovely - great to catch up with all the family and yesterday I had a lovely day at my Dad's. We had a nice cuppa and a chat and I did some cleaning for him as he's so busy on the farm. Didn't have my little slave with me, sorry daughter as she's too busy working so I just took my time then caught up with his partner Jean.
Busy few days aye! Here's a card I made:

Wow there's been some heat yesterday and today. Nice to have some summer.... for now at least. So what have I been up to - well my chest is getting back to normal so not coughing and spluttering as much thank goodness. Thank you for the lovely get well wishes. I broke a filling on Sunday eating a stone - less date - stoneless indeed!!!! I was being healthy eating a few and that's what happens.... It was an old filling so a trip to the dentist this morning sorted it out. It wasn't painful just sharp in my mouth. An injection and filling later the numbness is just rubbing off - the joys of life eh! Here's a card I've been putting together today:

I'm home alone - hubby's gone to Scarborough camping to watch motorbikes, Shannen has gone to a BBQ and I'm not at my school reunion...... On the bright side I'm taking it easy and going to have a nice quiet night recuperating.I did a little crafting earlier which occupied me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Onwards and upwards, here's my one and only british card, thought I'd make her look like she's juggling with her feet:

A big thank you for the lovely comments you've left me over the last few days.You've brightened up my days. Slept better last night on the sofa so feel much better today and coughing less. I've had a lovely day crafting and a little washing. Shannen needed a card making for the weekend and I decided to do one to have in for friends or any occasion.

Must use these Penny Black stamps more as they're so cute - coloured with promarkers, funky hand paper, Nellie doily die, pearls, gems and flowers from a blog candy win.

So without further ado here's my card:

Not too happy with the pic but I've tried. This was a card for my daughter's friend.

Don't worry just raining here, it's the christmas card I've just made has the word SNOW on - phew! Haven't made any christmas cards for a few weeks so need to keep up.I've had a lovely time with my Sister and Nephew while they were visiting - lots of catching up and quality time. We had a lovely meal out with my Dad on Wednesday night which was a lovely treat and we took some photos too as we haven't any up-to-date photos of us all.

I was supposed to visit my crafty friend Sheila on Friday then Sunday but my chest is playing up so I'm barking like a dog - the joys, so we'll have to get together another day. I'm resting today and crafting of course as didn't get much sleep last night. Need to be well for Friday as I've got my School Reunion! Here's my card:

I used freebie papers and the letters SNOW from an old magazine, card candi, gel pen, snowflakes - Marianne's designs die.

Tomorrow is going to be a rest day for me after a busy few days, so in other words a CRAFTING DAY. Any excuse aye!

I've popped by to let you know of the new Funky Hand release on Create & Craft tomorrow at 8am and 11am, so please tune in to see Anice showing you lots of fab samples from the rest of the talented design team. It's an inspiring cdrom with great paper collections, digi stamps, the famous word books with NEW lower case letters, templates and lots of other goodies.

Well, yesterday went without a hitch and the train was on time and had a nice afternoon with my Sis and nephew, then my Dad arrived early and stayed for tea which was so lovely. I was tired but it was worth it. Today has been spent in town seeing if I could find some nice tops and mission accomplished in Next. My sis is a great shopper along with Shannen and helped me in the changing room and choosing. Also was looking for an outfit or maxi dress for a high school reunion coming up a week on Friday but to no avail but there's still plenty of shopping time. My nephew was pushing me in my chair and did a fab job for an 11 year old - bless. Anyway onto my card, it's bright and fun and hopefully will remind us of some summer days - today is so wet - yuk:

Have a lovely evening and tune into Create and Craft to see the lovely Anice showcasing the new cdrom wishes and kisses it is fantastic. I'll pop back later and show you some samples I did using the cd.

Please pop over and support my fellow team mates as they've created some amazing pieces.

I'm picking my Sister and Nephew up from York train station this afternoon as they are coming down to stay with my Dad until Saturday so I'm really looking forward to spending some time with them both as they live in Scotland..... can't wait. They're having dinner at mine so the wine is at the ready!
